46 HISTORY OF CORN MILLING VOL. IV. II. mentioned, shall be equally divided between the parties. The millers SHREWSBURY ^^^ ^\i l-]-^g servants in the aforesaid mills to be appointed as well ABBEY MILLS. 6. Monastic Soke broken, 1267. - on behalf of the abbot and convent and their successors as of the burgesses and their heirs, and the mills to be so sustained or removed to other sites by the common consent of both parties. If it happen that all the aforesaid [six] mills, together with the [three] mills of the abbot and convent in the suburb [of Abbey Foregate], should not be sufficient for the multure of the entire city, and more mills are by common consent desired, then the costs as well as the profits of such new mills shall in all things be dealt with between the parties as is already set forth regarding the other common mills. None of the men of Shrewsbury shall hinder any one going to the said common mills or the mills of the abbot and convent in the suburb [of Abbey Foregate] or elsewhere at their own free will to grind. Witnesses : Walter de Merton ; Master Godfred Gyffard, then the chancellor of the lord the king; Master John de Chyshull, Lord Robert Walerand, John de la Lynde, Robert Anguyllon, and other great men then dwelling in Salop. Briefly stated, the result was that the abbey was deprived of its sole multure rights, and was made a partner with the town for the maintenance of common mills. Theoretically this arrangement was for the public benefit, since it broke a ; monopoly but practically it proved a public disadvantage ; for the burgesses soon failed in the fundamental duty which the monkish manorial millers had necessarily, if but for their own sake, carefully observed— that of maintain- ing the mills in an efficient state. Thus closed the events of 1267. found in 7. The Mill on 7. In 1 268 the burgesses are again the Gaye, conflict with the abbey. The garden of the monastery lay upon the bank of the Severn, and comprised an old meadow called the ''Gaye" and an island in the stream closely adjoining it. Here the monks in this year built a mill for the private use of their house and of their own little mesne manor of Abbey Foregate. The mill lay below the town on the course of the river, and was passed by all boats trading up from the Bristol district. Hence its existence threatened

The abbot thereupon agreed to avoid causing ^- The Mill on any hindrance in future, and an amicable agreement 1268. was made for its restoration. Its erection had been Text, I. 41, no breach of the arrangement made in 1267, nor did ^^ the burgesses ever make any complaint of its being such. Yet what say the historians? "In 1267 the Hist. Shby., abbey had agreed to erect no more new mills other- "* ^^' wise than conjointly with the corporation ; yet within a year they did erect one on their land, the Gaye ; . . . and the burgesses destroyed it, as a plain infrac- tion of the —an agreement": assertion quite disproved by the record they themselves quote :— Notum sit omnibus ad quos pressens scriptum pervenerit quod ii.
